About Contact Closure Sensors
Raritan's contact closure sensor (DPX-CC2-TR) can detect the
open-and-closed status of the connected detectors/switches. It requires
the integration of at least a discrete (on/off) detector/switch to work
properly. The types of discrete detectors/switches that can be plugged into
DPX-CC2-TR include those for:
Door open/closed detection
Door lock detection
Floor water detection
Smoke detection
Vibration detection
Raritan does NOT provide these discrete detectors/switches. They are
third-party probes so you must test them with Raritan's DPX-CC2-TR to
ensure they work properly.
Integration and testing for third-party detectors/switches is the sole
responsibility of the customer. Raritan cannot assume any liability as a
result of improper termination or failure (incidental or consequential) of
third-party detectors/switches that customers provide and install. Failure
to follow installation and configuration instructions can result in false
alarms or no alarms. Raritan makes no statement or claim that all
third-party detectors/switches will work with DPX-CC2-TR.
DPX-CC2-TR is compatible with all Dominion PX models with these
prefixes: DPXS, DPXR, DPCS, DPCR, PX-5nnn, PX-4nnn and PX-3nnn,
where n is a number.
Connecting Third-Party Detectors/Switches to DPX-CC2-TR
A DPX-CC2-TR unit provides two channels for connecting two third-party
detectors/switches. There are four spring-loaded termination points on the
body of DPX-CC2-TR: the two to the right are associated with one channel
(as indicated by the LED number), and the two to the left are associated
with another channel. You must plug the third-party detectors/switches
into these termination points.
To connect third-party detectors/switches:
1. Strip the insulation around 12mm from the end of each wire of two
third-party detectors/switches.
2. Press and hold down the tiny rectangular buttons above the
termination points on the body of DPX-CC2-TR.
